McDonald's Goes Bananas For Minions

Just yesterday when we were over at Mac’s for a quick after-dinner fried-food snack, one of us exclaimed — right at the counter — “oh, is the double McSpicy what Mcdees promotes when there’s nothing new on the menu?” And less than 24 hours later, right now in the office, a press release that’s hot off the well, press, lands right into our emails announcing the fast food giant’s big collaboration with cartoon of the month: Despicable Me 3.

To start things off on a sweet note, there’s going to a flurry of desserts — all banana flavoured, for a good reason we all know. These do look a tad daunting at first, and truthfully nothing quite like the usual Mcdonald’s soft serve that we’re used to; but we’re banking our buck on the Banana Hot Fudge sundae, because everyone knows how well bananas and chocolate go together. Riding on that same tastebud preference, the Banana Oreo Mcflurry seems like an adventurous choice to pursue too. Those who are looking for something less… hearty (who are we kidding) but still refuse to lose the Minion spirit might want to indulge themselves in a Banana Cone, and this one, friend, looks exactly like a Minion in action — complete with a yellow top and blue bottom.

And to go with the candied treats, something savoury might float your boat… Keep a lookout for the Minion Potatoes, where little potato bites (think tater tots) are cut into the shape of everyone’s favourite yellow, garble-speaking friends. And deep fried to crispy, golden perfection. That’s not even all — Macs will be bringing back the fan favourite Spicy Chicken McNuggets, should you be craving for a fiery treat. It’ll be only be for a limited time, so grab them while you can.

Plus, if you’re one to patronise Mac’s frequently (ahem, us) you’d notice that there has been a rather… unusual spike in the number of people purchasing the restaurant’s famed Happy Meal. It doesn’t take an arm and leg to figure out why — these folks are there for the accompanying Minion collectables! Shame on you if you’ve yet to get your hands on the toys from the first week; but fret not, there’s still today before they’re gone for good.
